Re: Anyone starting 1/7/08??

Hi,

I'm here. I'm so excited - I've dropped 7 pounds so far (1st week done today). I've had a couple of temptations but managed to get through. One was popcorn - can we have that on owl? I hope so, I love the microwave kind. Likely high in carbs though - must look it up for later. The other was a stir fry meal but with lots of peas, carrots, corn and some other 'no go' foods right now. I picked my way through it (while insulting the cook...)

I did fail on my quest not to look at the scale except every 2 weeks. Fortunately I lost weight, but if I didn't lose weight, it would have been a risk to 'fall off' - I find I need that reinforcement that the scale gives me. I must move away from this. I'm pretty proud though - I made an improvement in that I just weighed myself twice this week. I'll try to wait until next Sunday to weigh myself again.

Keep going - 1 week to go and we're done induction. I'm finding it fine for the most part. Snacks are hardest for me.

S-

Everyone is pretty quite on this thread - how is everyone doing? For me - so far so good. Drinking plenty of water and eating all the right foods / no cheats - not seeing to much of a difference weight wise... but it will come I am positive. So how 'bout ya'll?

Happy to report that I put on my new pair of denim pants (from Christmas) today. I noticed a huge change in the tummy area!! I am so pleased, the size difference is what I am looking forward to more than pounds. Still drinking lots of water, today I may have had a little too much carbs (by a few grams). Otherwise, feeling better than last week. The hunger is getting less and less.

wishing everyone well!!

Hey guys sorry i havent been around been super busy at work lately and i never have time to log on at home. I'm doing pretty good and have lost so that's great for me. I have a few slip ups but hopped right back on track. I think that i too will stay in induction a lil while longer.
